C shape neck and "modern" C shape differences

[No4PCs]

> Hi dear friends, my post #1, sorry my dumb english in advanced.


Im researching to buy the Fender P bass RI model or another one...im trying make comparisons in the neck shape of the basses, because i feel better with thicker necks, " C " shape form, you know?
Maybe my hands big, i don´t know exactly , but, the playability of my fingers run more easy in the C shape necks.
I had the Stingray bass many years ago, and it had the C shape, but the 70´s Fender P in my opinion have more "heavy C" shape. I had one P bass 70's too. But much expensive nowdays!
My actual P Bass standard have very thin neck...
Well, im researching in Tech Specs from manufacturers and see the Stingray have 11 radius, the J bass 9,5 and the P Basses RI 7.25...
Seems more radius, more thin neck?
And the damn expression "Modern C Shape" of manufacturers??
What mean that? Its C or Modern C...or is the same thing?


Thanks for some opinion and im very happy to join the forum
Peace

Yes, but that chart doesn't our question. We want to know the difference between what Fender designates as the "C" neck and "Modern C" neck.
